Term
Clavicle
Definition
Articulates medially with the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint and laterally with the acromion of the scapula at the acromioclavicular joint.
Term
Manubrium
Definition
Broad upper part of sternum. Articulates with the first two ribs and clavicle. Has an oval articulatar surface on the lateral, posterior, and superior surface.
Term
Sternal/Jugular Notch
Definition
Superior border of the manubrium. On either side of the sternal notch are the sternoclavicular joints.
Term
Sternal Angle
Definition
The joint where the manubrium and sternal body come together. Forms a 140 degree angle. Attaches to the costal cartilage of the 2nd rib.
Term
Body of sternum
Definition
Posterior to the manubrium. Attaches to the costal cartilage of the 3rd - 6th rib. Origin of the pectoralis major.
Term
Xiphoid Process
Definition
Small cartilaginous of lower part of sternum. The upper-lateral notch connects with the 7th rib.
Term
Clavicle
Definition
Long, S shaped bone. Keeps limb away from body. Medial end forms joint with manubrium and lateral end forms joint with acromion of the scapula. The acromial end is flattened. Articulates medially with the sternum at the sternoclavicular joint and laterally with the scapula at the acromioclavicular joint.
Term
Coracoid Process
Definition
Projects forward form the superior-lateral-anterior surface of the scapula. Origin of the Coracobrachialis and Biceps short head muscles. Insertion of the pectoralis minor muscle.
Term
Conoid Tubercle
Definition
Interior-posterior bump on the clavicle that attaches to a conoid ligament that attaches to the coracoid process on the scapula. The conoid ligament is a part of the coracoclavicular ligament.
Term
Trapezoid Line
Definition
A ridge on the inferior, anterior and lateral part of the clavicle. Attaches the trapezoid ligament to the coracoid process. The trapezoid ligament is a part of the coracoclavicular ligament.
Term
Coracoclavicular Ligament
Definition
Connects the clavicle to the coracoid process of the scapula. Sometimes associated with the acromioclavicular joint.
Term
Tubercle of Costoclavicular Ligament
Definition
Bump on the inferior sternal side which attaches the clavicle to the costal cartilage of the 1st rib.
Term
Superior angle of the scapula
Definition
The superior-medial angle on the scapula. Insertion point for the Levator scapulae muscle (posterior) and the serratus anterior muscle (anterior).
Term
Lateral angle of the scapula
Definition
The angle of the scapula closest to the glenoid cavity.
Term
Inferior angle of the scapula
Definition
The inferior-medial angle of the scapula. Origin for the Latissimus dorsi muscle and insertion for the serratus anterior muscle.
Term
Superior Border of the scapula
Definition
The superior border. Origin for the Omohyoid muscle.
Term
Medial Border
Definition
Of the scapula. Insertion point for the serratus anterior muscle on the anterior side and the Levator scapulae, Rhomboid minor, and Rhomboid major on the posterior side.
Term
Lateral Border
Definition
Of the scapula. Origin of Teres Major and Teres Minor.
Term
Glenoid Fossa
Definition
The articular surface (depression) receiving the head of the humerous. Located at the lateral angle of the scapula.
Term
Coracoid Process
Definition
Finger-like projection forward from the anterior-lateral side of the scapula. Origin of the coracobrachialis and short head of the bicep. Insertion of the pectoralis minor.
Term
Subscapular Fossa
Definition
The shallow depression on the anterior side of the scapula. Origin of the subscapularis.
Term
Supraspinous fossa
Definition
Superior of the spine of the scapula. Origin of the supraspinatus (a part of the rotator cuff muscle group).
Term
Spine of the scapula
Definition
Posterior ridge extending from the medial border (~T3 on spine) to the lateral angle and turning into the acromion. Insertion of the Trapezius and origin of the deltoid.
Term
Humerous Head
Definition
Approximatley 135 degree angle. Comes together with the glenoid cavity to form the glenohumeral joint. Smooth for articulating.

Definition

Pectoralis Major

O: Medial 2/3 of clavical, anterior manubrium, body of sternum, costal cartilage of ribs 1-6, and aponeurosis of external oblique.
